Hi all,
I was interested in adding some gauges to my 914 but don't want to put in the centre console. On page 116 of the Auto Atlanta catalog there are some gauge holders. They look like they go under the dash.

Does anyone have pictures of these installed? I was thinking of the 3 gauge version to put all the centre console gauges in.

I already asked Auto Atlanta and unfortunately they did not have any pictures.

Thanks,
Walter

I used some rubber hose as a stand off mount to lower the guage holder to improve the sight line from the metal ledge in back of the dash.

Do a double gauge mount and stick it where the ashtray goes. Puts the gauges more in a line of site location.

you can find the 3 gauge clusters out of an early model Rabbit/Golf.
